Peter Shadbolt is a Freelance journalist and copywriter at Haymarket Media Group. He possess expertise in journalism, newspaper, news writing, editorial, copy editing and 14 more skills. He is proficient in Italian. Colleagues describe him as "Before the 2020 pandemic and the increased emphasis on diversity, I felt that employers in Asia were becoming less willing to give opportunities to ethnic minority candidates. Back in 2018, I was struggling to find suitable work opportunities in Hong Kong after completing a master's programme in journalism despite a strong background in economics and considerable journalistic experience. Luckily, Peter noticed my potential and took me on and didn't ask if I was a 'native speaker' (a common question that many of us Indians get asked) nor did he have any language requirements.
We worked as an impressive dynamic duo producing articles for a daily newsletter and an online news portal focused on developments in a niche aspect of Asian corporate finance. Peter helped me understand the importance of strong ledes and had the remarkable ability to simplify the most complex aspects of corporate treasury and transaction banking. He gave me the opportunity to go on my first business trip and gave me the chance to moderate conferences for the first time allowing me to grow as a speaker and as a communications professional.
Everyone loves working for, and alongside, Peter. He is remarkably amiable and friendly as an editor or a colleague and always looks to help lift everyone's spirits by recounting anecdotes from a long and rich journalistic career. I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with such a kind, friendly, caring and lovely soul and I would recommend anyone to work with my former boss from Manly. "
